Pitch Perfect’s Ben Platt and Nic Rouleau to Star in The Book of Mormon in Chicago

November 8th, 2012 | By Marc Snetiker

Broadway star Nic Rouleau and Pitch Perfect actor Ben Platt have been tapped to play Elders Price and Cunningham, respectively, in the second national tour of The Book of Mormon, which will kick off at Chicago’s Bank of America Theatre on December 11.

Rouleau is currently appearing as Elder Price in the Broadway production of Mormon. Platt, who made a splashy film debut earlier this year in the a cappella comedy Pitch Perfect, will take on the socially awkward Elder Cunningham. Joining Rouleau and Platt in the cast are Stephanie Umoh (Ragtime) as Nabulungi, Jackson Evans as Elder McKinley and James Vincent Meredith as Mafala Hatimbi.

Featuring a score and book by Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon follows two mismatched Mormon missionaries as they are sent to Uganda to spread their religion. Upon arrival they learn their training may not have quite prepared them for the many challenges they are about to face. The show garnered nine Tony Awards including Best Musical.

The tour will play Chicago until June 2, 2013. The Book of Mormon features set design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Roth, lighting design by Brian MacDevitt, sound design by Brian Ronan and orchestrations by Larry Hochman and Stephen Oremus.
